	*'''~~Penthelisea~~, Amazon ~~Warioress~~:'''		*'''Penthesilea, Amazon Warrioress:''' 2 wounds, Specialist, on a bike, with Bioimmunity and Mim(-3). What's not to love? She's close ranged only, but she has smoke grenades and she's fast. AND her model looks fantastic despite being N2 era.

	'''Scylla, Steel Phalanx's NCO:''' '''Scylla, Steel Phalanx's NCO:''' A hacker with a bonus on Trinity, and up to 2 Devabots with heavy flamethrowers to cover some extra angles. She also brings a pitcher to increase your cyber-boardcontrol, so parking her next to a baggage bot isn't a bad idea. As a bonus she gets a (-3) for enemy hackers.

	** His Lt(+1 order) is fantastic, but he has a split personality when taken like that. If you take him with that profile though, you'll be torn between leaving him back to pump orders into your list, and running him forward with his x-visor'd Plasma Rifle. He's too expensive and too critical to do either of those well.		** His Lt(+1 order) is fantastic, but he has a split personality when taken like that.

	*'''Patroclus, Myrmidon Special Officer:''' Oh, Patroclus~~... even with N4~~, ~~you're still weird. He exists to pretend to be Achilles (or any other S2 trooper~~ in the ~~faction) but his high cost makes him prohibitively expensive at it~~. He ~~does have some purpose by pretending~~ to ~~be a lesser low-threat line trooper~~, ~~then shooting the hell out~~ of ~~a target that let him get close~~.		*'''[Dead] Patroclus, Myrmidon Special Officer:''' Sad, sad Patroclus, meeting his end just like in the Homeric Epic. He was a weird profile and cost to begin with, but with him gone Achilles can no longer join any kind of fireteam.

	*'''Achilles:''' The lighter flavor: Mimetism -6 is pure value. Less resilient than a light TAG but with none of the pitfalls, Achilles guns his way up the board until he can CC your face off. There's little in the game that Achilles does not want to fight, and he's among the most durable of the recreations. Treat him like an easier-to-hide TAG.		*'''Achilles:''' The lighter flavor: Mimetism -6 is pure value.

	**'''Achilles V2 (~~Hoplite~~ Armor):''' The heavier flavor. Mimetism -3, with the addition of Frenzy. Be warned that he will go impetuous after causing a wound to a target, so he will lose the benefit of cover. In exchange, he's 10pts cheaper than his light-armor cousin, has more armor, and forward deployment. In the ~~Hoplite~~ Armor, he functions as a miniature (but fierce) battle TAG, but with no fear of close combat, warbands, or Total Control.		**'''Achilles V2 (Corinthian Armor):''' The heavier flavor.

In the Corinthian Armor, he functions as a miniature (but fierce) battle TAG, but with no fear of close combat, warbands, or Total Control.

	*'''Ajax the Great, Myrmidon Officer:''' Achilles' prototype, Ajax is a high-armor, 2+NWI-wound model that shrugs off damage and can explode anything he sees within 8 inches of him. Berserk lets him basically take a wound in exchange for making sure something dies, while his +1 burst and damage means he's a short-ranged 0SWC Spitfire when he can't reach his targets.		*'''Ajax the Great, Myrmidon Officer:''' Achilles' prototype, Ajax is a high-armor, 2+NWI-wound model that shrugs off damage and can explode anything he sees within 8 inches of him.

	*'''Hector, Homerid Champion:''' 2+NWI trooper, meaning he's resilient and can dodge good. Like Achilles, he's good in melee, though he might not want to end up there. What's interesting is his Plasma Rifle, being one of the few humans in all of Infinity to have one. Flexible and a decent gun, but pretty expensive for what you get. Can be a Lieutenant.		*'''Hector, Homerid Champion:''' 2+NWI trooper, meaning he's resilient and can dodge good. Like Achilles, he's good in melee, though he might not want to end up there.

	*'''Tacbots:''' Come in two flavors.		*'''Tacbots:''' Come in two flavors.
	**'''Dakini Tacbots:''' These guys act like remote presence LI with MIM (-3), being essentially an expensive linetrooper option with a bit more resilience. They lost a lot of their penalties from N3, now being able to go prone. Don't forget that you need an engineer to fix them, but that they have two levels of Unconscious and that engineers can Command Token Reroll a failed engineer save on them.		**'''Dakini Tacbots:''' These guys act like remote presence LI with MIM (-3), being essentially an expensive linetrooper option with a bit more resilience.

			*** The HMG is one of the best gunfighters in the game with paired with Marksmanship and a 5-bot Dakini link in OSS. Even in vanilla paired only with Marksmanship its a great gunfighter that can be healed up with an engineer easily.
	**'''Garuda Tacbots:''' Like Dakini, but with Combat Jump and Parachutist, and a Spitfire option. While PH 11is not great for a reliable combat jump (EVO helps a bit) they still make a nice and cheap parachutist option.		**'''Garuda Tacbots:''' Like Dakini, but with Combat Jump and Parachutist, and a Spitfire option.

1d4chan>Idaeus: /* Tactical Armor Gear */ tweaks to Marut, added Agamemnon

	*'''Maruts:''' One day, ALEPH noticed that the Combined Army had a -6 Mimetism, Sepsitor-Equipped, Strategos L2 Main Battle TAG. In response, ALEPH said 'NUH-UH, I HAVE AN ANTI-AVATAR TAG!', and thus the Marut was born. No joke, the Avatar is poised to be an Avatar direct-counter, negating the Avatar's mimetism, being remote presence (and thus immune to Sepsitor), and Strategos L2, for fewer points than the Avatar. Less specifically, the Marut exists to punch camouflage in the face, be resilient, and be a main battle TAG. A capable (but expensive) Lieutenant, and all around decent offensive piece. Unfortunately, the Marut does compete with Achilles, and its niche is being a pricy counter to camouflage.		*'''Maruts:''' One day, ALEPH noticed that the Combined Army had a -6 Mimetism, Sepsitor-Equipped, Strategos L2 Main Battle TAG.

			** If you want a big, reliable, survivable gun the Marut is a great pick. It kills stuff dead.
			** Sadly, because of the AP CCW and the Wip 11 Karkata bot it's useless for completing missions whose objectives are anything but KILL

			*'''Agamemnon the Atreides:''' Yet another great profile for the Marut to compete against. With his DA CCW he can actually smash objectives like Heaters and AI Cores, and with an AP Spitfire he's dangerous against armored targets. Cheaper than Achilles, with an extra order, and a slate of rules that most TAGs would want in a slim S6 profile, Agamemnon is a great choice for TAG aficionados. What he lacks in mimetism or MSV, he makes up for in being cheap enough to bring amazing support pieces alongside him.

	*'''Pandora:''' Only available in Steel Phalanx, but essentially the same profile as Thamrys. Two notable updates: Dodge(-6) which is interesting if she's out on ARO duty and her flash pulse isn't getting good odds. BUT, she's a much better utility piece than an ARO piece thanks to her pitcher and hacking device. Her second notable upgrade is a profile with medikit(+1b). She's not a paramedic, but suddenly she can help out your beefy HI from a safe distance.		*'''Pandora:''' Only available in Steel Phalanx, but essentially the same profile as Thamrys.

			*'''Trish N33:''' from Defiance. She's essentially a slightly better Dactyl engineer with Immunity(Shock) and a breaker combi.

			*'''Thyreos:''' A controversial midfield piece. For an skirmisher in a faction of beefy, survivable heroes she's surprisingly fragile and lacking in obvious stats. Minelayer and Hacker profiles are interesting, as is the Monofilament CCW and Natural Born Warrior, but she's not that resilient and only has Mim(-3).
			** In Steel Phalanx she has the benefit of being a midfield specialist or minelayer in a faction that is sorely lacking in that department.
